Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of credit cards and, more particularly, to functions that may be established and executed to affect credit card accounts and transactions.
- Credit card transaction processing systems are well known.
- the typical credit card transaction processing system involves a cardholder, a merchant, a credit card processor, and a credit card issuer.
- the cardholder presents goods or services to a merchant at a point-of-sale station where the merchant calculates a purchase price and asks the cardholder for payment.
- the merchant processes the cardholder's credit card through a point-of-sale unit or terminal which is configured to transmit transaction information such as the amount of the transaction, the credit card number, etc., to the credit card issuer for authorization.
- the transaction information is directed to the issuer, who is identified by the first four digits of the credit card number, either directly through a network connection or indirectly through a credit card processing service.
- the credit card issuer will authorize the transaction by generating and transmitting an authorization code to the merchant.
- the credit card issuer usually places a hold or "freezes" the available credit line on the cardholder's account for the amount of the transaction.
- a sales draft, slip or receipt is often printed out by the point-of-sale unit or some other device such as a cash register.
- the cardholder signs the draft acknowledging his obligation to reimburse the credit card issuer for the amount of the transaction.
- the merchant can collect payment for goods or services from the credit card issuer.
- the aforementioned credit card transaction processing approach is functionally limited in that only basic sets of data can be collected and processed at the point-of-sale (e.g., credit card number, transaction amount, etc.).
- various proposals have been made to enhance the credit card transaction and account processing systems and, in particular, to enhance the credit card processing system's ability to provide benefits to credit card issuers, credit card processors, merchants, and cardholders.
- no proposals to date have enabled either cardholders or merchants to spontaneously alter what transactions are to be affected by a discount or other offer such as a financing option.
- the U$AVE program offered by First Data Corporation is a program wherein merchants pre-arrange offers with FDC's issuers that allow targeted cardholders to receive discounts redeemable via credit card payment at a point of sale.
- This program requires merchants to first register with FDC by specifying target market parameters like zip code, purchase history, available credit line, the discount function (e.g., percent-off, dollars-off, etc.), and other purchase parameters (e.g., first purchases, all purchases, or phased-in purchases).
- FDC sends out a customized statement of offers to cardholders of issuing banks that have agreed to participate in this program.
- the merchant provides FDC with transaction information including a cardholder's account number.
- FDC checks for any pre-registered merchant discounts and automatically applies the discounts to qualifying transactions.
- the U$AVE program is not capable of offering the merchant the ability to offer discounts or financing options on an ad hoc basis. Such an ability would help merchants achieve incremental sales from those customers who are ready to buy but may need an extra purchase incentive. For example, customers who are concerned about high interest rates might make a purchase if they could finance their purchase interest-free for six or twelve months. U$AVE does not provide the merchant with the ability to make such spontaneous offers on an individual basis. The merchant is left with the conventional alternative of inconveniencing the customer to apply for a store credit card which the customer may not want and may not qualify for.
- the U$AVE Program restricts the customer's ability to receive discounts in several ways. The customer cannot choose "when" to receive the offered discount. For example, if a merchant offered 10% off, the customer would generally prefer to receive 10% off on a major purchase to maximize the benefit of the offered discount. U$AVE, however, restricts the application of the discount to the first qualifying purchase, with the unintended result of discouraging the customer from making minor intervening purchases at the merchant and thus depressing merchant sales. Moreover, U$AVE does not allow the customer to choose "which" merchant he would prefer to receive the discount from. Thus, the U$AVE program significantly limits customer choice. It presents the customer with fixed offers that are exercised, regardless of the customer's choice, simply by the presentation and use of the appropriate credit card.
- the MASTERCARD PURCHASING CARD program offered by MASTERCARD allows merchants to provide supplemental information to credit card issuers via specially configured, non-standard point-of-sale units that are unique to the program.
- MASTERCARD cardholders can request that information such as a merchant category code, a supplier name, special accounting codes, supplier tax information, a 1099 status, a supplier zip code, quantities, product codes, product descriptions, freight amounts and duty amounts, be included on customer billing statements.
- This system is limited as it requires specially configured point-of-sale hardware.
- the supplemental information that cardholders can record on their billing statements is limited to fields specified by MASTERCARD, for example, supplier's 1099 status, zip code or tax information. In short, the system simply provides additional information to the credit cardholder without providing any additional functionality.
- AMERICAN EXPRESS "EXPRESS REWARDS” and “CUSTOM EXTRAS” are programs that use credit card transaction processing systems to deliver enhanced value to their cardholders. With these programs, merchants can track AMERICAN EXPRESS cardholder purchase behavior and then reward customers for their loyalty based on that behavior. The EXPRESS REWARDS program automatically discounts purchase amounts at a cash register while the CUSTOM EXTRAS program alerts cardholders to savings from particular merchants on cardholder billing statements. Similar to U$AVE, these programs allow merchants to set criteria for defining cardholder discount eligibility. The criteria merchants may use to determine a cardholder's eligibility is limited to the cardholder's past purchasing performance.
- AMERICAN EXPRESS notifies the merchants via a POS system by transmitting a message indicating "preferred customer.” The merchant can then discount the purchase at the POS. Consequently, the AMERICAN EXPRESS programs are merchant driven and are not capable of responding to any customer preferences or choices.
- Another example of a limited enhancement to conventional credit card transaction processing systems is the inclusion of merchant messages on customer billing statements.
- Merchant messages involve systems operated by merchants, processors, and issuers to allow the inclusion of text-based messaging on customer billing statements.
- Such messages serve to communicate supplemental or new information related to goods or services purchased and may include customer service telephone numbers, product information, or advertisements.
- customer service telephone numbers, product information, or advertisements may include customer service telephone numbers, product information, or advertisements.
- the usefulness of such information is limited as cardholders cannot specify the information that appears on their billing statements.
- the present invention addresses such problems by providing a system and processing approach that have not previously been proposed.
- the central object of the present invention to provide a system and a process for establishing and carrying out functions adapted to affect credit card transactions.
- the functions can be discounts, rebates, special purchase operations (e.g., special interest rate incentives or other custom financing), special customer-specified messages, etc., which provide benefits to credit card issuers, merchants, and consumers.
- the present invention enables merchants to offer customers a variety of financing options on an ad hoc basis. For example, a merchant might wish to offer an interest free purchase option to a customer allowing him to conveniently make a major purchase using one of his existing credit card accounts. The customer is not forced to apply for a store credit card simply to obtain better financing terms such as an interest free period. The customer and the merchant do not have to waste resources and time to process a store credit card application which the customer may not want or need in the first place. More importantly, the merchant does not have to risk losing a sale because a customer that already had available lines of credit with his credit cards was denied a store credit card.
- the present invention enables the merchant to simply establish a function, with selected credit card issuers, which instructs the issuers to provide interest free billing to the cardholder for the specified time period, and to bill the net present value of the calculated interest to the merchant, or deduct such value from the settlement of the consumer's charge made with the merchant.
- the present invention uses and enhances the existing relationships between the cardholder, the merchant and the issuer, providing a benefit to all concerned parties.
- the cardholder and the merchant benefit by concluding a sale efficiently and conveniently, the issuer benefits by getting incremental charge volume with prepaid interest.
- the present invention achieves the aforementioned objects by providing systems and methods for establishing and processing functions adapted to affect credit card transactions and accounts.
- the use of functions to trigger effects on transactions and accounts and, in particular, effects on transaction amounts via conventional point-of-sale processing systems will provide significant benefits to credit card issuers, merchants, and cardholders.
- credit card issuers can utilize such systems and methods and, in particular, those employing functions and function identifiers to incent cardholders to use their credit cards to thereby increase credit card balances and, ultimately, credit card processing fees.
- credit card issuers can utilize the systems and methods provided by the present invention to incent cardholders to activate newly issued, unused credit cards.
- the systems and methods of the present invention can be used by a credit card issuer to promote an incentive program whereby cardholders are given a percentage-off discount on their first use of their credit card when they present an activation function identifier that calls for such operation of a discount. Accordingly, credit card customers will be more likely to utilize their newly issued credit cards.
- Merchants can also benefit from establishing processing functions and function identifiers as provided by the present invention.
- a merchant could utilize the same to purchase the use of store-based functions, from selected credit card issuers, that allows the merchant to offer specific purchase incentives to selected customers at the store, in an ad-hoc manner.
- a merchant such as MACY's could promote a special purchase program for its cosmetics department offering its customers $25 off any purchase over $100 for cosmetics.
- the systems and methods of the present invention may be effectively coupled with the use of conventional credit cards, consumers will not be hindered by such things as special rebate forms, coupons, or certificates to realize the benefits associated with the merchant-based special purchase promotions.
- the present invention also benefits cardholders by enabling them to take advantage of easier to use discount programs and promotional offers through use of their credit cards at the place and time and transaction that they choose. Additionally, cardholders can now place personal notes directly on their billing statements that correspond to their transactions via conventional point-of-sale processing systems at the point-of-sale when transaction information is fresh in a customer's mind. Such messages may take the form of accounting codes which a customer may personally establish to track expenses such as business expenses tax deductible expenses, and the like.
- a process for establishing and executing a function to affect a transaction that includes the steps of identifying an account having an account identifier, establishing a function having a function identifier, and receiving a request to process a transaction.
- the request includes the account identifier and the function identifier.
- the process also includes the step of processing the request in accordance with the function identifier to affect either the transaction or the account, or both.

- System 100 is configured to allow credit card customers and merchants to use and take advantage of function identifiers and corresponding functions during a particular point-of-sale transaction and which can be executed and processed by an account issuer such as a credit card issuer to affect an account or the transaction and, possibly, the amount that is ultimately charged to or debited from a customer's account.
- an account issuer such as a credit card issuer to affect an account or the transaction and, possibly, the amount that is ultimately charged to or debited from a customer's account.
- One such function that system 100 will accommodate is the automatic application of a specified discount to a transaction amount during the transaction at the point-of-sale. Functions and their identifiers are discussed in detail throughout the remainder of this section.
- a transaction may be the vehicle by which an account undergoes an operation.
- the present invention contemplates the execution of a function called for by a corresponding function identifier which results in the account not being charged interest and processing fees relative to the transaction, for a given period of time.
- System 100 allows the use of functions without requiring a credit card customer or merchant to pre-arrange card-usage criteria or relationships. Moreover, system 100 allows the use of functions to affect transactions through conventional, widely-deployed point-of-sale processing systems such as credit card point-of-sale terminals and processing systems. And, system 100 allows the use and execution of functions independently of credit card history data and the like.
- system 100 operates to allow a cardholder 102 such as a credit or debit card customer to interact with a merchant 106 and a credit card issuer 112 in ways not heretofore provided.
- Cardholder 102 and merchant 106 exchange information via link 104.
- a point-of-sale unit could be designed that has a special function specification button that, when pressed, would notify a credit card processor or issuer that a function is to be communicated and the like.
- Merchant 106 and credit card issuer 112 exchange information with each other via links 108 and 110, respectively.
- Link 104 allows cardholder 102 to exchange transaction-related information such as a credit card number and a function identifier (discussed in detail below in this section). Once received in the course of a point-of-sale transaction, merchant 106 can then re-transmit (possibly via a credit card processor) such credit card number and function identifier information to a credit card issuer for appropriate processing. After such information is received by credit card issuer 112, credit card issuer can process the transaction amount provided by merchant 106, in accordance with the function corresponding to the function identifier originally provided by credit card customer 102.
- transaction-related information such as a credit card number and a function identifier (discussed in detail below in this section).
- merchant 106 can then re-transmit (possibly via a credit card processor) such credit card number and function identifier information to a credit card issuer for appropriate processing.
- credit card issuer 112 credit card issuer can process the transaction amount provided by merchant 106, in accordance with the function corresponding
- system 100 allows credit card customer 102 to provide the function identifier to merchant 106 and, ultimately, to credit card issuer 1 12 via a point-of-sale unit of the type typically allowing entry of PIN number information.
- system 100 processes functions without requiring equipment upgrades and without requiring special advance-arrangement plans, other than establishing functions and distributing function identifiers.
- Links 104, 108, and 110 are intended to comprise and utilize conventional credit card processing system data links.
- link 104 preferably involves a point-of-sale unit and network
- links 108 and 110 preferably involve a telecommunications or other network allowing for transaction data communications including the communication of function identifier related information.
- any information transmission vehicles could be utilized to allow the functionality of system 100.
- system 100 contemplates the use of voice response units (e.g., VRUs maintained by a credit card issuer or processor) that may be operated to allow customer 102 to enter a function identifier into a data processing system maintained by credit card issuer 112.
- voice response units e.g., VRUs maintained by a credit card issuer or processor
- Such voice response operation is well known in the transaction processing area especially in the case where personal checks are authorized only after a customer speaks a personal security word into a VRU via a telephone connection.
- other communications mediums such as dedicated telephony call centers having automated and human operators could be set up to handle the communication of transaction and function identifier related information between customer 102, merchant 106, and credit card issuer 112. It is even conceivable that facsimile communications could be used to communicate such transaction and function identifier information.
- system 100 contemplates the use of the Internet as a communications medium that could certainly be deployed for communication of such transaction and function identifier information. The Internet certainly would be preferred in electronic commerce settings in which the present invention is deployed. The use of such alternative communications vehicles will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art.
- system 100 and the present invention certainly contemplate the use of any communications medium that will allow a customer or a merchant to communicate function and function identifier related information to a processing site for appropriate execution to affect a particular transaction.
- system 100 operates to execute functions to affect transactions.
- a function is an operation that can be carried out or executed by a credit card issuer or other data processing authority to bring about a certain result. That is, by executing a particular function such as a discount function, for example, a discount or percentage off a purchase price can be realized during a particular transaction that may involve a credit card or a debit card.
- Functions according to the present invention include any operation that may affect and/or describe the transaction to bring about a certain benefit.
- functions include discounts, dollars off, rebates, special interest arrangements (e.g., no interest for three or six months, etc.), special interest allocation programs such as billing interest to a merchant, the inclusion of customer-based messages on billing statements, and any other form of incentive that may be linked to a transaction.
- special interest arrangements e.g., no interest for three or six months, etc.
- special interest allocation programs such as billing interest to a merchant, the inclusion of customer-based messages on billing statements, and any other form of incentive that may be linked to a transaction.
- functions are specified by a labels referred to herein as "function identifiers.”
- the role of a function identifier is to act as a tag for a particular function and, in some instances, may actually be a configured as a pointer to a function.
- a function identifier serves to allow customers to receive the and present the same in a user-friendly way. For example, a cardholder such as customer 102 can receive a function identifier of "10OFF" from credit card issuer 112. That function identifiers mapped to a function maintained by credit card issuer 112 that will cause a transaction amount to be reduced by 10% to customer 102 to realize a 10% discount on a purchase of his choice.
- the function corresponding to the function identifier 10OFF may involve computer programmed operations and, in particular, mathematical operations that credit card issuer executes or runs to effectuate the 10% discount.
- the function identifier can be printed on customer 102's billing statement and can be easily remembered and presented to a merchant at the point-of-sale and into a POS terminal by manual operation.
- function identifiers are pointers to functions that are used as a form of communicating the nature of the function to which they point.
- function identifiers could be codes that may include alpha and numeric strings of characters.
- function identifiers are communicated via a voice response unit such as via a speaker independent voice response unit (IVRU)
- a voice response unit such as via a speaker independent voice response unit (IVRU)
- IVRU speaker independent voice response unit
- function identifiers may be represented by DTMF dialing sequences of digits that are keyed by manual operation of a telephone.
- function identifiers In the case that function identifiers are communicated via a call center, such function identifiers may be verbal or spoken sequences of words and/or letters and numbers. In the case that function identifiers are communicated via a network such as the Internet, such function identifiers may take the form of hyper-text mark-up language (HTML) scripts or data entered into HTML or CGI data entry screens.
- HTML hyper-text mark-up language
- the present invention contemplates the use and application of multiple functions to affect a single transaction.
- a transaction may be affected by a function specified by a merchant (e.g., 10% off) and a function established by a credit card or account issuer (e.g., $30.00 off).
- a function specified by a merchant e.g. 10% off
- a function established by a credit card or account issuer e.g., $30.00 off
- a function specified by a merchant e.g. 10% off
- a function established by a credit card or account issuer e.g., $30.00 off
- the present invention certainly contemplates the application of one or more functions to affect a transaction.

- the account numbers for R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are industry common sixteen (16) digit credit card account numbers. Accordingly, the first four (4) digits of each of the account numbers indicate the banking institution that issued the credit card accounts (i.e., the credit issuer). In this case, R 1 shows a credit card issuer having a bank code of "2222.” Thereafter, the remaining twelve (12) digits of each credit card account number are unique. As such, the sixteen (16) digit account number uniquely identifies a particular cardholder account issued by a credit card issuer.
- the present invention would certainly be applicable to a credit card number such as those used by AMERICAN EXPRESS which have fifteen digits.
- a table having at least two columns may be used for the mapping; such a table would include columns for a financial account number and a corresponding customer financial account such as a credit card number.
- database 400 is a relational database table having a column and row arrangement.
- the columns indicate the fields stored in table 400 and the rows contain the data corresponding to individual records stored in table 400.
- the columns store merchant information related to MERCHANT ID NUMBER, MERCHANT NAME and MERCHANT ADDRESS.

- other fields of columns may be added to store information related each merchant or for database management system purposes. The addition of such fields and columns will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art of database management system design and implementation.
- Table 400 shows three records containing information about three different merchants.
- Record R 1 stores data related to a merchant having a MERCHANT ID NUMBER of 12345, a MERCHANT NAME of Macy's and a MERCHANT ADDRESS of 5 Main Street, Town, Conn.
- Record R 2 stores data related to a merchant having a MERCHANT ID NUMBER of 65478, a MERCHANT NAME of Staples and a MERCHANT ADDRESS of 2 Pine Street, City, N.Y.
- Record R 3 stores data related to a merchant having a MERCHANT ID NUMBER of 58749, a MERCHANT NAME of Caldor and a MERCHANT ADDRESS of 123 Purple Ave., Blue, Conn.
- database 500 as originally depicted in FIG. 2 at reference numeral 218.
- database 500 (hereinafter referred to as "table 500"), is shown as having a column and row arrangement whereby the columns maintain field data and the rows maintain data records.
- the columns store data related to ASSIGNEE IDENTIFIER, ASSIGNEE, FUNCTION IDENTIFIER, FUNCTION OPERATION, and STATUS.
- ASSIGNEE is meant to include entities (e.g., individual cardholders, merchants, etc.) that are capable of presenting, benefiting from, and utilizing function identifiers and corresponding function to the present invention.
- the column identified with the label FUNCTION IDENTIFIER stores data representing the codes provided to the respective assignees.
- the FUNCTION OPERATION column maintains operations and functions to be carried out (i.e., executed) by the account issuer (i.e., the entity maintaining the database management system--credit card issuer 112 in the present embodiment as shown in FIG. 1, for example).
- the STATUS column stores data related to whether the particular functions have been redeemed or not. Although, the STATUS column indicates a binary status (i.e., REDEEMED/NOT REDEEMED), the column could be configured to store other types of information such as a running count of function redemptions or executions, etc.
- column structure shown in table 500 is merely exemplary and not intended to restrict the present invention; those skilled in the art of database management system design and implementation may make many changes including the addition or deletion of fields or columns to effectuate particular system functionality and the like.
- the rows of table 500 contain data records related to functions and function identifiers maintained in a system such as in system 100 (FIG. 1).
- record R 1 stores data and information related to a function having an ASSIGNEE IDENTIFIER attributable to a credit card account number of 2222-3333-4444-5555 and ASSIGNEE of TIM JOHNSON.
- the function corresponding to record R 1 is coded as BX1239BC and calls for a FUNCTION OPERATION of 5% OFF that has been applied to a transaction such as a point-of-sale transaction that involved TIM JOHNSON.
- the FUNCTION IDENTIFIER is an alpha-numeric string of digits.
- the present invention is not so limited; for example, the present invention certainly contemplates the use of numeric strings such as four (4) digit pin-type codes and the like which may be attributed to a particular functions. It is preferred, however, the format that is chosen for the function identifier be one that allows entry and display of the same by a point-of-sale unit such as a credit card or debit card point-of-sale unit or terminal (e.g., such as one manufactured by VERIFONE).
- a point-of-sale unit such as a credit card or debit card point-of-sale unit or terminal (e.g., such as one manufactured by VERIFONE).
- the FUNCTION IDENTIFIER is a label that preferably is distinct from the operation that will be executed in relation to the actual FUNCTION.
- the present invention is not so limited, however.
- the present invention contemplates the use of FUNCTION IDENTIFIERs that are the same as the functions they identify. This case is seen in record R 5 where the FUNCTION IDENTIFIER is "NO INT 6 MONTHS" and the FUNCTION OPERATION is the same.
- Such a function may be used by a credit card customer to realize no interest on a major purchase or on a purchase incented by a credit card issuer.
- such a function may be used by a merchant who purchases the use of such a function from a credit card issuer to incent customers to shop in the merchant's establishment.
- a system such as system 100 will have to have the ability to understand and decipher the FUNCTION OPERATION and cause the appropriate processing to occur.
- a database management system envisioned by system 100 will certainly be able to map a FUNCTION OPERATION like "NO INT 6 MONTHS" into appropriate logic to cause a transaction and an appropriate account to bear no interest in relation to the underlying sale for six months after purchase. Such processing and logic will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
- the present invention also contemplates the notion that the FUNCTION IDENTIFIER could actually be configured to be a pointer or address to a function operation. Such a configuration will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
- records R 1 , R 2 , and R 4 contemplate the use of codes which may be considered "function codes" that may be established and processed in a system such as system 100.
- Function codes are preferred as they are easily managed by merchants and customers and they are easily and quickly entered into a point-of-sale terminal or communicated to a credit card issuer via some other communications medium (e.g., a telephone call, etc.).
- table 500 The other records stored in table 500 will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art of database design and implementation. It is worth noting, however, that the functions stored in table 500 represent operations to be carried out or executed by an account issuer such as a credit card issuer and include, but are not limited to, 5% rebates, cardholder messages transmitted via POS stations to appear on cardholder monthly or periodic billing statements, dollars-off amounts (e.g., $10.00 off a transaction or sales amount of say $50 or more), and possibly, special purchase terms such as no interest periods, no payment periods, etc.
- table 500 as used in a system such as system 100 will operate to affect transactions and accounts related thereto.
- Transaction database 600 such as the transaction database originally shown in FIG. 2.
- Transaction database 600 (hereinafter “table 600") is shown as a database table having a column and row structure. The columns contain field data and the rows of table 600 contain actual data records. Table 600 stores information related to (in left to right column order) ACCOUNT NUMBER, DATE, TIME, TRANSACTION AMOUNT, TRANSACTION DESCRIPTOR, MERCHANT ID NUMBER, and MERCHANT NAME.
- table 600 shows four records R 1 through R 4 .
- the records stored in table 600 store information related to individual point-of-sale transactions involving functions and function identifiers (i.e., where function identifiers were either presented by a customer to a merchant or by a merchant to affect the respective transactions such as by affecting the transaction amount).
- function identifiers were either presented by a customer to a merchant or by a merchant to affect the respective transactions such as by affecting the transaction amount.
- the present invention would not require table 600 to store a function identifier in the TRANSACTION DESCRIPTOR column; that is, a transaction not involving a function will be stored in table 600 or in some other transaction database table in a conventional and well known way.
- record R 1 contains information related to a transaction involving an ACCOUNT NUMBER of 2222-3333-4444-5555 that occurred on Jan. 1, 1997 at 10:00 am in the amount of $98.00. Additionally, the transaction record indicates that a function identifier or code "BX 1239BC" was presented at the point-of-sale maintained at a merchant named CALDOR having an ID NUMBER of 58749.
- This transaction could have involved the purchase of clothing such as a shirt whereby the function identifier BX1239BC was intended to apply and to affect the transaction and, in particular, the transaction amount by reducing the same by 5% (i.e., indicated as 5% OFF Purchase Price as illustrated in related table 500 at record R 1 --FUNCTION IDENTIFIER BX1239BC associated with ASSIGNEE IDENTIFIER or ACCOUNT NUMBER 2222-3333-4444-5555).
- 5% i.e., indicated as 5% OFF Purchase Price as illustrated in related table 500 at record R 1 --FUNCTION IDENTIFIER BX1239BC associated with ASSIGNEE IDENTIFIER or ACCOUNT NUMBER 2222-3333-4444-5555.
- the function identifier of BX1239BC could have been presented by TIM JOHNSON after he received the same from his credit card issuer.
- the function identifier could have been force issued (i.e., sent without request by the cardholder) by Mr. Johnson's credit card issuer via a billing statement or some other distribution such as via an electronic mail item sent via the Internet.
- the function identifier could have been sent to Mr. Johnson upon his request from his credit card issuer in exchange for a fee or the like or as part of some general reward program.
- the function identifier could have been presented by a merchant (in this case CALDOR) as a special purchase incentive or loyalty building tool.
- CALDOR a merchant
- the effect of the use of such function identifier is to cause Mr. Johnson's credit card issuer to execute a corresponding function that provides a 5% discount on Mr. Jonhson's purchases.
- Record R 2 records a transaction involving account number 9999-9999-9999-9999 and a TRANSACTION DESCRIPTOR in the form of a text string "TAX DEDUCTION.”
- SUE CARDHOLDER the account owner or cardholder having account number 99999999-9999-9999 as indicated by related table 300 had arranged for a function identifier and corresponding function to specify text strings (see related table 500) that can be entered into a point-of-sale unit at the point-of-sale corresponding to the recorded transaction (i.e., a message code).
- the present invention by utilizing conventional point-of-sale systems in a novel way, will allow cardholder or account owners to self-specify transaction traits and explanations at the point-of-sale thereby easing personal accounting processes such as expense reporting for business purposes and the like (e.g., specifying codes mapped to account codes used in popular software packages such as those manufactured by Intuit known as Quicken or QuickBooks).
- Record R 4 records a transaction involving account number 4444-4444-4444-4444 and a TRANSACTION DESCRIPTION in the form of a text-based function identifier which, in the system being described, is the same as the corresponding function operation to be executed (see table 500). Accordingly, the owner of the specified account number, will be able to realize a special buying incentive commonly used in retail merchandising settings--the reduced or no interest for a limited time buying plan. Such buying plans often are used with big-ticket purchases and the like. Record R 4 in conjunction with table 500, illustrate the flexibility of the present invention in terms of the function identifiers that may be used and processed to ultimately effectuate certain affects on transactions.
- record R 4 illustrates that a transaction can be processed as usual and can be enhanced by allowing a function identifier to entered at a point-of-sale and mapped to a corresponding function maintained by a credit card issuer to result in a definite and certain affect on the transaction or the account to which the transaction relates.
- the actual functions that are to affect transactions may be set by merchants such as pre-purchased discounts as purchasing incentives and the like, by customers desiring to record transaction information such a text strings and the like, and by credit card issuers as incentives to utilize and/or activate credit card accounts.
- the functions contemplated by the present are intended to be processed utilizing conventional and readily available point-of-sale processing systems that allow for entry of alpha and numeric data.
- FIGS. 7A-7C therein depicted are flow charts illustrating a first embodiment of a process for processing or otherwise executing functions within a credit card or debit card processing system utilizing point-of-sale data entry systems such as the system depicted in FIG. 1.
- the process depicted in FIGS. 7A-7C is, in part, intended to be carried out by the data processing system illustrated in FIG. 2 and described above.
- the process depicted in FIGS. 7A-7C also is intended to illustrate the steps carried out by a credit card issuer, a merchant, and a cardholder during a particular transaction.
- FIGS. 7A-7C depicted in FIGS.
- code 7A-7C contemplates the use and operation of functions based on codes that are presented and processed during a particular point of sale transaction.
- code in this context is meant to indicate a function identifier that corresponds to a particular function to be carried out to affect a particular transaction in a specified way.
- Step S7-1 Processing starts at Step S7-1 and immediately proceeds to Step S7-2 where a cardholder provides a merchant with a credit card account number during the course of a transaction. Thereafter, at Step S7-3, the merchant enters transaction information such as a merchant ID, a transaction amount and the credit card account number into a point-of-sale (POS) terminal as discussed above in regard to FIG. 1.
- POS point-of-sale
- Step S7-4 the credit card issuer's central controller or data processing system receives the transaction information entered by the merchant into the POS terminal.
- the credit card issuer will determine if the credit card and the account are valid (e.g., is the credit card number one that was issued by the particular credit card issuer, etc.). If not, the transaction will be aborted in a conventional way (Step S7-6).
- Step S7-7 a determination is made as to whether the cardholder is an assignee of a function (i.e., is the cardholder's account number associated with a function operation that is to be executed to bring about a certain result?). If not, processing proceeds to Step S7-8 where the transaction will be processed in a conventional way.
- Step S7-9 as shown at the top of FIG. 7B.
- Step S7-9 the credit card issuer will transmit a request (e.g., "CODE?" or "FUNCTION?") to the merchant's POS terminal for display thereon.
- a request e.g., "CODE?" or "FUNCTION?”
- Step S7-10 a decision by the cardholder can be made whether or not to use the function during the present transaction to affect the present transaction or the cardholder's account. If not, processing proceeds to Step S7-11 where a conventional process for handling the transaction will commence without incorporating a function or processing related thereto.
- the merchant could also be the party that may apply a function to a given transaction to bring about a certain result.
- the present invention is not restricted to having only the cardholder determine to use a function or not.
- Step S7-12 the merchant obtains a function identifier from the cardholder and causes it to be entered into the merchant's POS terminal.
- the act of entering the function identifier into the POS terminal would be similar to entering a PIN (personal identification number) into a POS unit to verify identification during a point-of-sale transaction, etc.
- Step S7-13 the credit card issuer's data processing system 200 receives the function identifier entered during Step S7-12. Processing then proceeds to Step S7-14, where the data processing system 200 will determine if the entered function identifier matches or maps to a function stored in a function database (see e.g., FIG. 5) in relation to the account number of the cardholder that was earlier received in the process. If not, processing proceeds to Step S7-15, where the transaction may be handled in a conventional, non-function-enabled manner or some other fixed cycle of re-entry requests could be executed.
- a function database see e.g., FIG. 5
- Step S7-16 If there is a function identifier match and a function identifier and function operation mapping as determined from database operations on a database table such as table 500, processing proceeds to Step S7-16, where the credit card issuer's data processing system 200 will execute the function operation corresponding to the function identifier and carry out necessary operations (e.g., mathematical multiplication, etc.) to calculate a discounted price, or some other effect on the transaction thereby directly affecting the transaction during the POS transaction.
- necessary operations e.g., mathematical multiplication, etc.
- Step S7-17 a determination is made as to whether there is sufficient credit in the cardholder's account to allow the credit card issuer to authorize the discounted price or the affected transaction amount. If not, at Step S7-18, the transaction will be aborted in a conventional way.
- Step S7-19 at the top of FIG. 7C.
- the credit card issuer's data processing system generates an authorization code and transmits the same and the discounted price or the affected transaction amount to the merchant's POS terminal.
- the merchant receives the authorization code and the discounted price and completes the transaction in a conventional way (i.e., via credit card transaction processing systems known in the art).
- the credit card issuer's data processing system 200 records the transaction in a transaction database for later processing during a billing cycle.
- a function identifier such as a function code entered at the point-of-sale may be either entered by a merchant (e.g., a merchant that had earlier purchased a particular type of function code from a credit card issuer) or by a cardholder to affect the transaction and, in particular, the transaction amount.
- a merchant e.g., a merchant that had earlier purchased a particular type of function code from a credit card issuer
- the affect on the transaction may involve a price discount or the like which can occur during the course of the transaction as opposed to realizing an effect on a billing statement later in time.
- FIGS. 8A and 8B therein depicted is another preferred embodiment for processing and executing functions and, in particular, functions that cause messages or message codes to be processed and recorded during point-of-sale transactions.
- the process depicted in FIGS. 8A and 8B are intended to be carried out, at least in part, by a credit card issuer's data processing system 200 and during a particular point-of-sale transaction. More particularly, the process depicted in FIGS. 8A and 8B are intended to ultimately allow cardholders to enter messages about their transactions into POS terminals for later appearance of such messages on the cardholders' billing statements.
- Such messages may take the form of short codes that may be used to identify personal characteristics about a transaction such as personal accounting codes, etc. Additionally, it is envisioned that such message codes may be established by a cardholder to match his personal accounting codes used within an accounting system such as QUICKEN or QUICK BOOKS by Intuit Software.
- Step S8-1 Processing starts at Step S8-1 and immediately proceeds to Step S8-2.
- Step S8-2 a cardholder provides a merchant with a credit card account number by presenting his credit card as the payment vehicle during the transaction. Processing then proceeds to Step S8-3, where the merchant enters transaction information including a merchant ID, a transaction amount, and the credit card account number into a POS terminal.
- Step S8-4 the credit card issuer's data processing system 200 receives the transaction information entered and transmitted during Step S8-3. Thereafter, at Step S8-5, a determination is made as to whether the cardholder's account is valid. If not, the transaction is aborted at Step S8-6.
- Step S8-7 a determination is made as to whether there is sufficient credit available to absorb the transaction amount. If not, at Step S8-8, the transaction is aborted.
- Step S8-9 the credit card issuer's data processing system 200 transmits a function identifier request to the merchant's POS terminal.
- a request may take the form of a text message such as "Code?" or "Message?” and is intended to be manifested or displayed on the merchant's POS terminal.
- Step S8-10 Processing then proceeds to Step S8-10 at the top of FIG. 8B. There, a determination may be made by the cardholder as to whether he intends to use or incorporate a message-type function identifier which will later appear on his billing statement. If not, at Step S8-11, the transaction will be handled in a conventional manner.
- Step S8-12 the merchant obtains a message from the cardholder and causes the same to be entered into the POS terminal.
- a special character be used to signify the entry of a text-based message as opposed to a function identifier that is to invoke some special function operation such a mathematical operation.
- Such a special character may be the asterisk and may be used to enter a string of characters such as "*BEXP" to indicate a business expense item. The string "BEXP" will be recorded on a cardholder's billing statement in a row containing line-item information about the particular transaction to which the message pertains.
- Special signifying characters need not be used to signify messages. Special signifying characters, however, will allow a system such as system 100 to immediately recognize that a message string has been inputted thereby saving look-up time that normally may occur to map a function identifier to a particular function operation. The use of such a special character as a trigger for a corresponding type of function will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
- processing proceeds to Step S8-13 where the credit card issuer's data processing system 200 receives the function identifier that is to form the basis of a message or a message code established by the cardholder.
- the credit card issuer's data processing system records the transaction information and the entered function identifier in a transaction database and transmits an authorization notice to the merchant's POS terminal 106. Thereafter, the merchant completes the transaction Step S8-15.
- the credit card issuer will communicate the function identifier or message to the cardholder via the cardholder's billing statement.
- FIGS. 8A and 8B will allow a cardholder to enter messages directly on his billing statement via conventional POS terminals and processing systems. Such messages will enhance the use of credit cards and the like as cardholder's will be able to track expenses and record notes related to transactions at the point-of-sale when knowledge about the transaction is fresh. As such, the process depicted in FIGS. 8A and 8B, will allow cardholders to affect their transactions with critical accounting and expense tracking information at the point-of-sale.
- statement 900 resembles a typical monthly billing statement with the addition of function identifier data in the form of code information and corresponding notices printed on statement 900 to indicate the activities carried out or executed by credit card issuer 902 in accordance with that code information.
- statement 900 is a paper form that is generated in a conventional way by or on behalf of credit card issuer 902 and is usually sent via a mail service to bill charger 903 who is the owner of an account number 905.
- billing systems have advanced, the present invention certainly envisions the day when customers will regularly receive their bills (and billing statements like statement 900) electronically such as by way of a network (e.g., via the Internet, the telephone network, etc.).
- a network e.g., via the Internet, the telephone network, etc.
- Many banks such as CitiBank now offer private network-based transport of financial account details and statements. Accordingly, the implementation details necessary to transport or otherwise deliver a billing statement like statement 900 to a recipient or account owner electronically will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
